Taken By The Lycan King 32: Zero Love Life
NADINEHours later, after watching the 3-hour movie Sara forced me down to watch, which I couldn't deny I enjoyed. Well up until Kai reared his face. I had averted my gaze rather clumsily when our eyes locked on each other. His eyes had weighed me down and a tirade of thoughts had overlapped one another in just that moment.I didn't even think before finding solace in the movie I had been watching. I wasn't even concentrating on the movie but instead on the exchange of pleasantries between Sara and Kai and then when he greeted me, my heart stopped for a split second. I had thought he would ignore me and I would undoubtedly do the same.On the one hand, replying to his greeting would give him ideas and make me look somewhat accessible and on the other hand, I clearly was brain dead as a rock after locking eyes with him, stuttering was the last thing I would ever want to happen to me when I was in the same space with Kai.As I lay in bed that night, tossing and turning mindlessly, I ke

NADINEThe smell of freshly made pancakes filled the entire kitchen and made my mouth water immediately. Mama Teresa was at her best again with Sara and me in tow."Are we having the chocolate syrup with it or the strawberry syrup?" asked Sara who eyed the pancakes hungrily. "I vote for the strawberry," She said almost immediately."Stop breathing down my neck, Sara. You are not the only one who is eating breakfast here."Sara looked up at me with puppy eyes, from behind Mama Teresa, pulling her lower lip out. If I do not agree with her with the strawberry, she wouldn't definitely be in a foul mood throughout the day.I preferred the chocolate syrup but I wasn't ready to make Sara sniffer that morning."I would love the strawberry syrup too, it has quite an exquisite taste to it." I stated.Mama Teresa looked at me from under her eyes "Not because she pleaded with her eyes to ask you to support her?""No, no. I do not have anything against strawberry syrup. As a matter of fact, I love
Taken By The Lycan King 34: Pulled it off
NADINEI didn't notice I had been watching Sara change in and out of outfits for the past thirty minutes until Sara had checked her phone and screamed that we were running late.It was the day for sightseeing at the tourist centre Sara had gotten us tickets for. I had contemplated on what to wear and settled on black pegged pants and a plain mauve T-Shirt - which was part of what I had gotten at the store - before Sara had pulled me into her room to help her dress up.As we went on chattering and squeaking like teenagers, I couldn't help but notice how colourful Sara's room was, and when I meant colourful, I meant colourfully pink. From the bedspread and covers down to the seat cover of the chairs in front of her vanity mirror to the floor mat which shone pinkly on the ground, daring you to roam on it unless you are a princess. It was something out of a Barbie world. I looked at my outfit and chuckled. Way to go, Ken.Sara was haplessly rummaging through her wardrobe."I really do no
Taken By The Lycan King 35: Enjoying It
KAIShe was here, alright.And plainly dressed which I was not shocked at. Her beauty stood out as I immediately recognised her as I left the entrance.She was all looking all concerned until her eyes met mine and they widened.Sara's plan of successfully pulling Nadine to the Castle of The Alpha One had been fruitful. Argh…had I been the one proposing the idea, she would blatantly refuse and try to bury me with a killer stare before making her way to her room.I smirked harder as I approached her stricken face. She had irritation written all over it and it amused me the more."What are you doing here?" The question flew before I got in front of her. It was more of an accusation than a question.As I stood right in front of her, she crossed her arms in indignation, pursued her lips and looked up straight at me. I took a full glance at the features of her face which was beginning to heat up either from annoyance or from blushing. It was a mixture of both. My wolf rose on its hind legs
Taken By The Lycan King 36: The Princess and Her Bodyguard
SARAI couldn't keep back my smile as I made my way back to the car. My plan had worked!I kept getting the thoughts of Nadine confronting me later but I shrugged it off to enjoy the moment. I had texted Kai we were on our way to the castle before leaving the house. He had left home, as usual, giving the notion he was going to work but he had been around the Castle all day.I feared Nadine would see right through me when I told her I forgot the camera that never left home. It just had to be perfect.As I opened the car door and eased my way in beside Adam, I let out a yippee and a heavy sigh escaped through my mouth. Kai had seen me at the entrance and I couldn't be more glad he complied with the plan. I caught a glimpse of them together before I went to the car.I couldn't help but grin seeing Nadine scowling and Kai smirking at her. I was a hopeless romantic. Despite knowing Nadine's primary presence in Eden City is to save us all from perishing, I could ask for a better mate for my

NADINEHe thinks he's a smart mouth, I scoffed as I walked towards the windowless gaps in the room.We were still at the top floor and I was getting more enthralled by the grandeur of the castle every minute. Antiques lined the width and breadth of the floor. If I weren't so passionate about architecture, I would have poked my nose into sculpture classes.Touching the antiques got me fervently riled up and I couldn't help but feel like I found something I had lost that I hadn't quite come to terms with in them. The atmosphere was breathable and tranquil and I would have been more comfortable if not for Kai's presence l which seemed to annoy me at the same time heating me up.I wondered if I had breathed at all since we started touring the castle.I had tried to restrain myself from talking about anything or asking him the multiple questions I had about the whole place. I had been wholesomely fascinated and my curiosity knew no bounds. But I failed when my curiosity attained its highes
Taken By The Lycan King 38: Beg For It
NADINEThe kiss robbed me of my breath. One minute, I was admiring the view that was absolutely magical, and the next, I was being pulled into a strong pair of hands and body and my mouth was being devoured in a searing and most intense kiss that I've ever known. If I had thought that our first kiss was intense, then this was definitely putting it to shame. His mouth was fervent on mine, hungry, needy, and demanding and forcing mine into submission and compliance. His kiss incinerated everything and the only thing I was aware of was the fact that I was being kissed by this man like I was the source of air that he had been deprived of for so long. God! This man definitely know how to use his lips as he backed me against a wall, his tongue exploring and plunging deeper and deeper with his lips and teeth pulling and scratching and making me experience the kind of pleasure that I never knew was possible. Only from a kiss! I fleeting wondered just how pleasured he could make me feel
Taken By The Lycan King 39: A rogue on the loose
KAII was back at the council meeting after calling an emergency meeting right after I dropped Nadine off at the house. The atmosphere was immensely heavy and poignant.A rogue was on the loose.Everyone was talking at the same time but I paid no attention to any of them. My wolf has been seething ever since I found out a rogue was free on the streets of Eden City. There hadn't been one for a century now. It was surprising how he just emerged from nowhere.My first instinct had been to protect Nadine. I had rushed Nadine to my car which was parked outside the castle. My reflexes had been triggered by the screams and I had pounced right from the top of the castle. Nadine was frightened out of my mind and her horror-stricken face contorted with fear.I had made my way back to the castle and the castle manager had come rushing to my side. A rogue had made its way inside the castle and attacked tourists and murdered two of them. My mind went back to Nadine and I quickly assured myself tha

NADINETwo years later…It was Mama Teresa's fifty-fifth birthday and we took the time to celebrate it by having a poolside lunch.Sara had taken her time in having her styled in a trendy organza outfit and insisted she did her nails. She was a professional at it now, exploring new designs and working closely with her favourite designer Emily had introduced to her.And now she was right here, carrying around my baby boy. Collins who was on his way to becoming a two-year-old.He was the cutest baby ever and hardly gave anybody trouble. He smiled at every given moment and was rarely cranky. He had an uncanny resemblance to Kai.When he had come out of me, I had held the most beautiful being I had ever set my eyes on and a little dimple had shown when he smiled at me.Kai's eyes had melted when he first beheld his son. He had cradled him and sat somewhere far away from him, simply staring at the little bundle of happiness in the Cruz family. Collins Cruz.Kai never stopped being the perf

LEVIAfter everything had settled down, I had just one goal. To get Emily.I continued sending her gifts and even though she wasn't rejecting them, she persisted in ignoring me. She still wouldn't return my calls and texts but I was unperturbed. I knew her, she was trying to admit to herself she wasn't into me so badly. Then she had started coming around to my place at late nights, pushing her body against me, and me having no total power to resist her.Every time we had had some mind-blowing sex, she was in no time to talk, and even if she was there, it was to tell me not to give meaning to whatever just happened between us after which she would storm out.I didn't want to be on a pure sexual vibe with Emily. I wanted more. I wanted love.In an attempt to keep riling her up, I stopped at one of her shoots and the moment I came into plain view, her eyes had risen to meet mine but she looked away immediately.It was an outdoor shoot for a footwear brand. And she looked mesmerising in
Taken By The Lycan King 142: Becoming The Luna
NADINEI never would have called myself a resilient lady until the issue with Lucas trying to become the most powerful wolf, not only in Eden City but also taking over the real world.And one sickening thing about the whole issue had been finding out Lucas was the one behind it. I could never have imagined.The moment I had woken up in a dark room when the abominable wind grabbed hold of me, he had watched me with the most sinister look I had ever seen.I remembered calling out to him and telling him to save me but he had grabbed me by the hand and shoved me down roughly instead The memories run a shiver down my spine every day.I could remember our conversation back at the bar months ago. It had been one of the many reasons I had decided to stay back at Eden.But it had all been a crafty ploy to get closer to me. The feeling of being used took a long time before it wore off me.Kai made sure not to allow me to watch his public execution the night after being rescued. He had been bent
Taken By The Lycan King 141: Back at Home
KAI"Kai", Adam called my attention, apprehension corroding his face. I looked up from where I stood with Emily."It's up, the full moon is out" His voice was filled with dread. I felt my stomach knot even after Emily had told me something stronger than the mate bond could break the barrier and that is if I loved Nadine unconditionally.I knew I loved Nadine. I did with all my life.But I felt helpless, How do we go about it? I was lost in my solitude of thoughts, staring anxiously at the moon which had now risen in all its glory, its heavenly glow wafting through the entire City.The whole room was lit with its embers. And I silently prayed to the moon goddess as I stood there. Just then, Lucas' voice came cascading through the whole house again."It was a pleasure seeing you people work tirelessly, You are a very poor team, I must say. " He said mirthlessly before he gave out a screeching laughter, mocking us."Don't touch her, you madman" I roared, banging the walls and windows. I
Taken By The Lycan King 140: Kidnapped
KAIWe headed out for a hunt. The hunt for the maniac who took Nadine away from me.Adam had suggested going around the abandoned buildings on the outskirts of Eden City and the houses of the council members. It wasn't no Old Monroe, it was someone we all knew.I had been at the council meeting once when Emily told me about the involvement of one of them. I had tried feeling something, looking for just anything, any slip-up to get who it could be.I had them oblivious to the whole matter. It was better that way. I couldn't trust any single one of them. They all looked fatherly and greeted me warmly without no hesitation.Even Elder Will, who was always on board with conspiracy theories didn't look a bit like a madman. I gave up on reading their faces.Going to their houses now could tip the maniac off. If there had been note time before the full room, we could have run wires around their houses but it was not needed anymore. We only had less than three hours till the full moon came up

KAIMy eyes widened as her statement sank in. It was the last thing I was expecting to hear. My mind went blank for a few seconds as I stared into her face which was turning concerned.But she had been at the pharmacy days ago. But it hit me, she had brought a thin paper bag. And I hadn't bothered to ask her about it. Inwardly, I berated myself for not paying much attention ever since Emily told me about her visions.I felt helpless and wasn't even trying to get a grip on myself. And now a life was being developed in Nadine, a life we had both brought into living. And god dammit if some elder was going to prevent me from seeing my first seed.Nadine touched my face and shook me lightly. She must have thought I had relapsed into myself as I stood there, watching her with unmetered surprise."I'm pregnant, Kai" She reiterated before pulling my palm sliding it down her stomach, and smiling weakly,"I need to stay here and fight whatever is coming with you…We are going to be together,
Taken By The Lycan King 138: Unexpected Good News
KAII felt utterly helpless as the days surmounted, slowly leading to the next full moon. As each day passed without finding out who could be threatening Nadine's life, it had me becoming increasingly worried about her. I made the whole situation oblivious to her.I couldn't afford to get her nervous. She watched me closely and I knew she could detect something going on but she made no mention of it.And I was glad she didn't. I was mostly locked up in my study, a whole mind map laid over from the information I had just gotten about Nadine's ancestry.I had set up a contingency team with Adam, Emily and Levi. Emily was inherently valuable to the group, mostly because she was the one with the visions that could guide her into finding out the culprit.We needed her badly and she readily agreed to help. She came around to the house, exchanging pleasantries with Mama Teresa and Nadine with a look of guilt strewn over her face.When thoughts of the things she had done corroded my mind, I c
Taken By The Lycan King 137: A New Enemy
KAI My hands rimmed firmly on the steering wheel as we drove back home. And Emily's words corroded the entirety of my mind. Nadine immediately asked me what she had come for when I got back to the car. I shrugged and smiled at her,b3fkre squeezing her open palm as softly as I could. "It's nothing, she is just reporting some stuff on her job. You know she's a custodian." I replied, feeling guilty for lying to her. She let out an ohh and watched me pasely before I turned my eyes back to the road. From the corner of my eyes, I could see she was about to say something else but decided against it. I tried to bring up random conversations which she engaged in with me but I kept zoning out, my mind preoccupied with the looming danger that could affect the love of my fucking life in a few days if Emily was telling the truth. And I cursed under my breath. Emily had better be joking about this. I didn't need any more terrible occurrences happening again, not with Nadine again. Who the hel
Taken By The Lycan King 136: New Lovers
LEVIThe colour on her face drained the moment she turned around and saw me. I smiled widely at her, ignoring Kai's scornful look behind her at the drama unfolding in front of him.I couldn't believe she had actually announced to Kai that I was her boyfriend. Inwardly, I was conflicted about whether she was trying to show Kai she was already over him or she really meant what she said."What are you doing here?" Emily said in a low tone which clearly carried hostility but I was untethered. I took her hand and pulled her gently towards me before wrapping an arm around her slim waist, an action causing shock to ripple through her body.And I knew my answer was somewhat in my favour.I hadn't been following her. I had not even seen her for days now but I was constantly sending her gifts at work and home.The situation had plainly presented itself when I was returning from work and I saw her car, one I could recognise anywhere, slide into Kai's company.I stopped and watched how she hurrie
